The company that owns the company that owns four daily newspapers and four weekly newspapers north of Boston is looking to sell them, according to the Lawrence Eagle-Tribune, one of the newspapers involved.
CNHI, headquartered in Montgomery, Alabama, currently owns North of Boston Media Group, which operates the Eagle-Tribune, the Salem News, the Gloucester Daily Times, and the Daily News of Newburyport, all daily newspapers. The company also operates four weeklies: The Andover Townsman and The Haverhill Gazette in Massachusetts; and The Derry News in New Hampshire and The Carriage Towne News, a regional weekly that covers several towns in southeastern New Hampshire.
The pastor of an evangelical Protestant church in Laconia, New Hampshire is offering a faith-based 12-step program to overcome same-sex attraction and other "hurts, habits, and hangups," but it has struck a nerve with some pro-homosexuality advocates.
New Hampshire recently enacted a law that prohibits so-called "conversion therapy" seeking to change sex orientation or gender identity, but it exempts churches. The law, House Bill 587, takes effect January 1, 2019.
